Colace along has never worked for me. Good luck and I hope things (ahem) go more smoothly for you soon.

That made me laugh out loud...thanks I needed that.

Well I am staying another night my HGB has dropped and I have a lot of bloody drainage out of my drain pray it stops I am ready to go home

Praying for you Lynn....

4 days and i get alot of gas pain after i eat. some bloating. the gas x helps some. I have slept in my bed last night and was out for about 7 hours.

Just got home from hospital and I feel so bloated and full of gas. I did get a good night sleep. My body and mind needed some rest.

I had my surgery on Oct. 1st. I got c-diff while in the hospital. Still afraid to leave home and be away from the potty. Other than that I've been really good. Almost done with the 2 week post op liquid diet. Can't wait to have a scrambled egg. So glad everyone is doing well. Lost 10 lbs the first week plus 20 lbs the 2 weeks pre op liquid. So relieved its working.

Finally home!!! Trying to get liquids in and counting the days down till my staples are out. Having cold sweats wonder how long that will last. No fever. I hope everyone else is doing ok.

Glad to hear you are doing ok... we had sugery the same day and came home the someday lol

Debbie denise- how are you doing? I am finally out of the "fart" woods! Today has been the best day so far. Not a lot of pain. Finally got some decent sleep too. Hope you are doing well.

Glad you are home. I have been having the hot flashes and cold sweats too for the past 3 days. Wasnt sure if it was menopause kicking in or my body saying "what in the heck did you do to me?" No fever either.

When will you get the staples out? My doc glued me -6 sites. Surprisingly they have held up. Hang in there.

I'm 10 days post op and last night was the first time I slept more than 4 hours at a time.. sleeping was very difficult prior to last night.. It gets better..

I hear ya! I am 6 days out and I finally slept like a log in my bed last night but I think it was from being exhausted. My bottom also hurts like heck. Hurts to sit hurts to lie down. At least it makes me get up and walk around!

I swear my stomach could talk to whales for about 6 days post op!

Hopefully this Thursday I must say I have more energy today than I have had since my surgery on Tuesday so things are moving in the right direction

How long is this gas gonna last? My surgery was Oct 9 and I am still so gassy.

I feel the same way Lynn73. Yesterday was an amazing day. and i pooped. That was the perfect end to it. I found i cant drink cold things just yet. Makes my pouch cramp. today i feel great and have tons of energy and im about to trek out with the bf to find this elusive pumpkin Protein shake at GNC. I was really starting to wonder about the surgery. and all the people that said they felt great after. until yesterday (5 days out) I felt like shit that was stepped on and smeared along the sidewalk. Yes that bad!.
